Arsenal, meanwhile, face a two-legged tie against Porto with all three English clubs playing the first leg of their ties away from home after winning their groups.

Former England captain Beckham, who won the Champions League with Manchester United in 1999, had earlier this week revealed his desire to face Sir Alex Ferguson's side in the knockout stages of this year's competition.

Beckham joins Milan on a six-month loan deal in January and said: "Since I left (United) in 2003, I have not returned to play at Old Trafford. Seven years have gone by and I would like for that to happen.
